The details of tab is scarce, but set that the brand has teased the tab, more about it should be known in the near future.

The Bangalore-based company is all set to manage things right with the Adam II.

Rohan Shravan, the founder of Notion Ink, published a press release on the official blog reporting that the company has teamed up with Texas Instruments for the Adam II.

The new tab, still that is in the progress, can sport a TI OMAP 44xx processor, along with other components from TI such as Wi-Link 7.0 and Phoenix audio amplifiers.

Notion Ink hasn’t determined the chip which can be used, but a fast view at TI￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾ﾿￯ﾾﾢ￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾﾾ￯ﾾﾀ￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾﾾ￯ﾾﾙs line-up unveils it￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾ﾿￯ﾾﾢ￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾﾾ￯ﾾﾀ￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾﾾ￯ﾾﾙs either the OMAP 4430 or the OMAP 4460. Both SoCs are established on the ARMv7 instruction set, and fabricated using the 45nm process. Both possess ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core CPUs with simply a clock speeds small variance.

Also both chipsets feature the identical graphics chip, that is a PowerVR SGX540 and pack in a dual-channel memory controller.

The OMAP 4430 has been utilized in devices such as the Motorola￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾ﾿￯ﾾﾢ￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾﾾ￯ﾾﾀ￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾﾾ￯ﾾﾙs Droid Razr and BlackBerry PlayBook, whereas the OMSP 4460 will be found in the Galaxy Nexus, so we could anticipate performance along the lines of these devices from the Adam II.

Only thing which was to be handled was to move the LCD driving circuit to the main mother board, which was also in favor of what we wanted to do since we have a very special VEE (Visual Enhancement Engine) for controlling the display. But, there were 2 problems, power requirement and availability of the apps to run on such a resolution.￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾ﾿￯ﾾﾢ￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾﾾ￯ﾾﾀ￯﾿ﾯ￯ﾾﾾ￯ﾾﾝ

Developing on the issues cited above, Shravan states that the specs would want the Adam II tabs to be charged in less than 2.5 hrs or so, with a 25 WHr battery, that would mean a present rating of 2A on 5V.
